Backstory

Personality Description

Loves to read and learn. Is interested in other people – although can be forgetful with details not relating to his specific interests.

Philosophy or Moral Code

Has a distaste for hurting others but has the pragmatic outlook of a farmer.

History

Grew up on a tenant farm (grew wheat & cider apples) in the village of Nempnett Thrubwell. He spent most of his free time studying magic for fun with the hope he could use it to help around the farm.

He studied for four years at the Lyceum to become an Adept and has recently spent the last year as an Adept, marking papers for his Mentor and doing odd jobs the Lyceum assigned him. The Lyceum took payment for odd jobs as it helps them pay the bills including a nominal salary for the Adepts. For Willy, being an Adept largely meant him getting cats out of trees, keys out of sewers, acting as a medium for the recently deceased, or finding out if spouses are cheating on each other. He hasn’t loved the work per se and feels like his abilities were stagnating somewhat; but he was grateful to finally be sending money back home and to no longer be a financial burden.
